Let R be a commutative ring with identity and M an R–module. If M is either locally cyclic projective or faithful multiplication then M is locally either zero or isomorphic to R. We investigate locally cyclic projective modules and the properties they have in common with faithful multiplication modules. Our main tool is the trace ideal. We see that the module structure of a locally cyclic proje...

We show  that a projective maximal submodule of afinitely generated, regular, extending module is a directsummand. Hence, every finitely generated, regular, extendingmodule with projective maximal submodules is semisimple. As aconsequence, we observe that every regular, hereditary, extendingmodule is semisimple. This generalizes and simplifies a result of  Dung and   Smith. As another consequen...

The purpose of this paper is to further the study of weakly injective and weakly projective modules as a generalization of injective and projective modules. For a locally q.f.d. module M , there exists a module K ∈ σ[M ] such that K ⊕N is weakly injective in σ[M ], for any N ∈ σ[M ]. Similarly, if M is projective and right perfect in σ[M ], then there exists a module K ∈ σ[M ] such that K ⊕ N i...

In this paper we show that if Λ = ∐ i≥0 Λ i is a Koszul algebra with Λ 0 isomorphic to a product of copies of a field, then the minimal projective resolution of Λ 0 as a right Λ-module provides all the information necessary to construct both a minimal projective resolution of Λ 0 as a left Λ-module and a minimal projective resolution of Λ as a right module over the enveloping algebra of Λ. The ...

This paper studies the usefulness of the projective approach to structure from motion (SFM). We conduct an essentially algorithm{independent experimental comparison of projective versus Euclidean reconstruction. Our results show that Euclidean reconstruction is essentially as accurate as pro-jective reconstruction, even with signiicant calibration error and for the pure projective structure. Th...

A module M is called epi-retractable if every submodule of M is a homomorphic image of M. Dually, a module M is called co-epi-retractable if it contains a copy of each of its factor modules. In special case, a ring R is called co-pli (resp. co-pri) if RR (resp. RR) is co-epi-retractable. It is proved that if R is a left principal right duo ring, then every left ideal of R is an epi-retractable ...

We investigate the structure of pure-syzygy modules in a pure-projective resolution of any right R-module over an associative ring R with an identity element. We show that a right R-module M is pure-projective if and only if there exists an integer n ≥ 0 and a pure-exact sequence 0 → M → Pn → · · · → P0 → M → 0 with pure-projective modules Pn, . . . , P0. As a consequence we get the following v...

let $m$ be a right module over a ring $r$, $tau_m$ a preradical on $sigma[m]$, and$ninsigma[m]$. in this note we show that if $n_1, n_2in sigma[m]$ are two$tau_m$-lifting modules such that $n_i$ is $n_j$-projective ($i,j=1,2$), then $n=n_1oplusn_2$ is $tau_m$-lifting. we investigate when homomorphic image of a $tau_m$-lifting moduleis $tau_m$-lifting.

In this handout we will briefly explore the topic of projective modules in a bit more detail than we covered in class. Throughout R is a commutative ring. Recall that, by definition, a projective module is an R-module that is a direct summand of a free R-module. As mentioned in class, if the ring R is decomposable, e.g., R = R1 ⊕R2 is a direct sum of rings, then there are many examples of non-f...

A module is said to be $PI$-extending provided that every projection invariant submodule is essential in a direct summand of the module. In this paper, we focus on direct summands and indecomposable decompositions of $PI$-extending modules. To this end, we provide several counter examples including the tangent bundles of complex spheres of dimensions bigger than or equal to 5 and certain hyper ...
